Venus Williams’ earnings are more than Biles’

The duo played tennis with an incredible appetite for the game, being the fashion divas on the court, and entertaining the audience with their top-class shot-making ability. These intangibles and technical proficiency got them a good deal of titles. In their career, their earnings from winning prize money are unmatched.

While Serena is way ahead in that department, Venus comes second with an all-time career earnings total of $42,280,541 as of November 2021. Thus, Venus’ success amounts to a massive net worth of $95 million.
